How often does a solar panel break?

Solar panels are reliable with little failure, have a long lifespan, and usually come with a 20–25 year warranty.

Generally, solar panels have a low failure rate and last a long time without issues. Modern solar panels are designed to be durable and typically require little maintenance. Most manufacturers offer warranties of 20 to 25 years on their solar panels, promising that the panels will maintain a certain level of performance during that period.

However, there are some factors that can affect the reliability and lifespan of solar panels:

  1. Quality of the panels: The quality of the materials used and the manufacturing processes can vary. High-quality solar panels from reputable manufacturers generally have better reliability.

  2. Installation quality: A professional installation according to proper standards is crucial. Poor installation can lead to issues such as leaks, damaged wiring, or insufficient stability.

  3. Environmental factors: Solar panels are exposed to various weather conditions, such as rain, wind, hail, and extreme temperatures. Although they are designed to withstand these conditions, extraordinary events can cause damage.

  4. Aging: Like any electronic device, solar panels can degrade over time. This can lead to a gradual decrease in energy output.
